Nazareth Shaolin-Do

Never stop practicing!

I'd like to offer a weekly Shaolin kung fu-based workout class on Zoom, open to the public, with a focus on basic martial arts techniques, strength training and weight loss. Depending on who shows up and what the demand is, I may offer some simple tai chi as well. I don't suggest that I can teach efficient self-defense in a virtual setting, but I can help get you into fighting form, to be stronger and more flexible, and to develop an understanding of how to move and strike, ...so that when it's safe to attend in-person classes, you'll be in shape to excel quickly. I've been asked in the past about teaching online classes, but always urged people to find an in-person instructor. For the past 10 months, I've been teaching kung fu and tai chi online and have developed a teaching method that I feel has been highly productive given the circumstances. All that is needed is a Zoom account and a small area to train. The classes will be donation-based. I've got my eye on Monday evenings (5:45 p.m. EST), but will try to select a day and time that works for most people. If you're interested, please email: [email protected]

You probably just need to learn Kung Fu.

Shaolin-Do is a celebration of the martial arts that originated in the mountains of China and echoed across the globe, enriching countless lives. Our Nazareth school condemns the use of any slur in reference to the coronavirus and COVID-19. We stand with the people of China and the rest of the world in overcoming this pandemic together as one.

Hope everyone is doing well and still practicing your Kung Fu and Tai Chi to the best of your abilities. Try a video workout with my former classmate Sifu Sam! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwUdqHocLhs

All classes are canceled until further notice. Stay well, everyone!

As a Kung Fu practitioner and someone with deep respect for Chinese culture I feel compelled to state that no racism should ever be tolerated at any level, even jokes or subtle comments. Regarding Coronavirus, we are all in this together and hopefully we get through this with minimal death and suffering. But it is your responsibility and mine to speak up when ignorant comments are made. Once I asked my Sifu how to handle co-workers making racist jokes around me. He said to say, "I'm not comfortable with that language." This is the true response of a martial artist, and one of the most valuable lessons I learned from my great teacher. Keep those words in mind, and use them to quell the spread of intolerance. Peace - and stay healthy, y'all!
